That is also a private crossing, so there's a bit more liberty to how a crossing gets protected.ToledoRailfan wrote:This seems a bit sketchy.

I'm pretty sure that those gates are just for access control, I referred to it as sketchy because I could see someone stopping on the tracks if the gates are closed and the person is waiting to get access to the facility.ZachL wrote:That is also a private crossing, so there's a bit more liberty to how a crossing gets protected.ToledoRailfan wrote:This seems a bit sketchy.

I'm pretty sure that most of those were posted before. I definitely remember the standard GRS (XC?) 8 inch lights with the Lex-C front-parts on them.ToledoRailfan wrote: Classic signals!

An interesting pedestrian crossing.

Here it is with different signs and no crossing ID tags back in 2013.

Here is are two pretty cool crossings, they vaguely looks familiar so I wonder if this has been talked about on the forum before.

I wonder why this gate was removed, maybe someone stole it and it just wasn't replaced for the time that street came there in 2013.

This road is a one-way road but there is this signal that has had its lights removed! Kind of odd, might be from when this road was a two-way road.

Huh, I though semaphore gate mechanisms were only used on pedestrian gates.

I wonder if the reason that they installed full signals instead of just gates for the sidewalks is because the sidewalks are kind of far from the crossing. But why did the previous setup setup just had mast signals for the sidewalks without gates?

I'm willing to bet that signal had overhead wires running to it originally and they needed the height for clearance.ToledoRailfan wrote:I wonder what this is all about?!

That road, despite being ~5 lanes at the crossing, don't look too busy. In fact, it drops to four lanes just beyond the crossing. It's probably more like Green Cove Road here in Huntsville, AL, as it appears to just get switching traffic across a non-major road.ToledoRailfan wrote: I'm surprised that this crossing isn't signalized, kind of reminds me of the crossing on Route 2 in Ohio near Port Clinton before it was upgraded.

Both are on the site, and I think that line is now officially out of service, or at least it doesn't get any use anymore.brett nc railfanner wrote:Classic signals:
